@stickybob: The 'don't do drugs' is a bit of a sweeping statement. What did you do when you got up this morning? Have a cup of coffee? Maybe a cigarette? A glass of wine with your dinner last night? Maybe a beer to chill out in the evening?
Don't do drugs? It's all relative, isn't it? If you drink, you'd be a criminal in any muslim country. If you had a joint in southern India, the Czech Repulic, Portugal, Netherlands, etc. you are not.
The legality of anything is more a case of historical accident, rather then proven to be harmful. I've been smoking for 37 years now, I have two university degrees, I was, amongst other things chief legal advisor for two multinationals, being responsible for all the tax relevant legal advise, not really the makings of a drug addict wouldn't you agree?
I think you'd be surprised if tomorrow weed was made legal, just how many people you know and would have thought to be 'clean' to actually have a spliff in the evening.
And no, I would never urge anybody to do anything, it was a recommendation based on a tried and tested method, what anybody else makes of it is up to them.
